Eureka, California – A cold front sweeping through Northwestern California overnight brings a slight chance for light rain across the region, with temperatures expected to drop significantly in interior areas. By Monday, highs are likely to range from the 70s to low 80s, a noticeable shift from the warmer conditions of the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Eureka, the front will bring a 25-45% chance of rain in areas like Crescent City, Eureka, and Fort Bragg from late Sunday night through Monday morning. The best chance of measurable precipitation is expected in Crescent City early on Monday, with lighter chances in the other locations. This cold front will help cool temperatures significantly, with some areas experiencing a drop of 10-15°F.
For residents in these areas, the early part of the week will bring some relief from recent heat, but light rain could still cause minor travel disruptions, particularly in coastal and mountainous regions. The rain may be brief, but drivers should be aware of the possibility of wet and slick roads during early Monday morning commutes.
Rain chances are forecasted to decrease by Tuesday, but cooler conditions will linger, with highs remaining below the 80°F mark in most areas. Further updates will be issued as conditions develop, and residents are encouraged to stay updated on local forecasts.
